A post was spotted at Golden Garden, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Shintenchi area, introducing HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING's barrel-aged beer "Rinki Sakurabun ~Wheat Wine~". This limited 8.0% brew is characterized by aromas from the barrel and a rich, full-bodied flavor.
Hop BroAt Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi area, HNB's limited barrel-aged beer is down to just a few left. The name is "Rinki Sakurabun ~Wheat Wine~," and it's definitely one you don't want to miss.
MugiWait, if it says Only a few left!, that suddenly makes me panic! If it's that rare, doesn't it already have the vibe of a legend?
Hop BroAnd it's a Barrel Aged Wheat Wine at 8.0%. It was aged for about 15 months in a single malt Japanese whisky cask from SAKURAO DISTILLERY, so the depth is incredible.
MugiWait, is wheat wine a wine? Or a beer? Even the name makes my head feel floaty!
Hop BroThe name sounds wine-like, but it's actually a high-ABV beer style made with wheat. The softness of the grain, plus the cask aroma and richness, make it something you want to drink slowly.
MugiOh wow! And it has a brown sugar-like sweetness plus vanilla aroma, so it's basically dessert duty! But I might not like it if it's too sweet...
Hop BroThat's fine. It's not just sweet, because there's also a smoky finish, so the flavor doesn't get blurry. It's heavy, but not tiring to drink, which makes for a great balance.
MugiAnd this was made as part of the HIROSHIMA BARREL RELAY PROJECT! It's not just about getting drunk, the backstory is hot too, which is kind of unfair!
Hop BroExactly. Since HNB, SAKURAO DISTILLERY, and Vinoble Vineyard are involved, it's interesting as a Hiroshima collaboration too. I like how the local connections really come through in the flavor.
MugiIn a calm place like Golden Garden, following the changes in aroma sounds incredibly luxurious. If I drank it little by little with food, I'd be so happy I might not want to go home...
Hop BroThat's exactly why now's the time to check out the depth from the barrel. You think you'll just have one glass, and then before you know it, I can already see you ordering a second.
MugiTotally! I'm already making the face of someone who really wants to drink it. I definitely want to take my time and savor Rinki Sakurabun!
